What are the new clean energy solar energy use

If you think that solar energy is just on the solar street light and solar water heater application, you will be OUT. Although we have seen in life the most is the solar street light and solar water heater, but in terms of solar energy resources itself, with not only the development of science and technology, its application will greatly expand. Recently, according to reports, the application of solar energy have the new breakthrough.

the BBC reported recently, the researchers used a quartz window and special holes will be the sun's rays gather together into a cylinder. The wall is full of ceria. Metal cerium oxide in the process of heating and cooling, combined with the oxygen ability differences. The researchers using this feature, in the use of catalysts and set a certain temperature conditions, to import carbon dioxide and water, carbon monoxide and hydrogen. If the carbon dioxide and water into the device alone, will be separately generated carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The device one channel is set at the bottom, used for export hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Hydrogen can provide energy for the car with hydrogen fuel cells, and carbon monoxide is a raw material gas & other; The syngas & throughout; The main component.

the designers, people may be because the new device with carbon dioxide, water and sunlight as raw material to produce energy and feel device in the simulation of plant photosynthesis. Device is one of the designers, the United States, California institute of technology professor SuoXiNa & middot; Hale says, the working process of the device looks like plant photosynthesis, but & other; Just seems & throughout; The actual is different. New device current is a prototype, efficiency is not high, can only be transformed, store 0. 7% to 0. 8% into the device of solar energy. The researchers believe that the improved device insulation performance and to reduce the special holes together for solar energy, can increase the solar energy conversion rate to 19%, to meet the business requirements. Hale told BBC news, the device can be used in the production of transportation fuels or apply in large power plants. The photoelectric enterprise & other; Solar century & throughout; Chief technology officer Daniel & middot; Davis, think that the new device & other; Very exciting. ” Compared with the solar panels in the roof, & other Build a big business in the Sahara desert, the production of liquid fuel is not better? ”

the most in the 21st century, the most effective clean energy, solar energy brought new energy to the use of hope, at the same time because of the limitation of the technology in the current application and has not been fully expand, whether its use efficiency, economy, how to store, there are challenges. Hale said, development solar energy utilization device and whether a country is closely related to actively promote low carbon policy. “ If low carbon policy, the research progress of this kind of device will be much faster. ” Perhaps this speaks the key to the development and utilization of solar energy resources.
